CRITICISM
B.F. KEITH'S UNION SQUARE THEATER.
WEEK OF MAY 12TH.
[HOSOSTON?] AND [BRUMMER?]
Army Artillery Jugglers. Juggling cannon balls, guns etc. I really dont believe an act of this nature belongs in a house of this kind. They both work like amateurs, probably due to nervousness, with a general mix-up in their routine. Nine minutes full stage.
BOB FINLEY AND [CHESLEIGH?] SISTERS
In "A Vaudeville Idea of Musical Comedy", a skit consisting of a little dancing, singing and some patter. The girls make several changes of costume and look pretty. While the act no doubt pleased, they do not get the applause. fifteen minutes in one
[WYKOFF? RYKOFF?] AND [VANITY?]
Society Dancers. A good looking young couple giving us a series of dances. A very neat act and greatly appreciated. Nine minutes full stage.
SMITH-COOK AND MARIE BRANDON
Marie Brandon is a good looking soubrette, and something of a toe-dancer. The opening of this act is the old routine of Cook and Lorenz. The act consists of singing, dancing, and burlesque imitations, which seem to bring numerous laughs. Twenty-two minutes, open in one, go to two, and close in one.
WILFRED CLARKE AND COMPANY
In "What Will Happen Next". Too well known for any comment, merely to say that they held the audience and received a quota of laughs. Eleven minutes full stage.
THE THREE LEIGHTONS
Each member of the company received individual applause on their appearance. The skit was treated like a new vehicle and brought forth a large storm of applause. They were easily the applause and laughing hit of the show. Seventeen minutes, open full stage, close in one.
FIVE MARTELLS
Three men and two women in a very neat cycling exhibition which was frequently interrupted by applause and held the audience to the finale. Nine minutes full stage.
TALKIES
"Olio Minstrel" As good as any film presented.
"Educated" Fair.


is a knock at the police.
ZELMA RALSTON
This young woman has played the circuit over and over again. She offers this time a pianologue. Her voice is only ordinary and her selections just about get by. I cannot say that she got over this afternoon.
